"Or are we going to have a surprise attack?" One of them said.

The number of troops is not a problem, and the Western Xia has increased by about 1,000 soldiers, and there are still hundreds of civilians who escort supplies. However, the Song army had two battalions of soldiers and horses at this time, and although they were inferior in terms of troops, one was prepared and the other was unprepared, and they were unprepared to the point where everyone hated it.

If it is a soldier, it is okay, hurry up, but about they thought that in the rear, it would be safe and sound, the large group of men and horses was loose, a group of men and horses in front of them rode horses, and they were not hurrying on the road, and behind were infantry and people, and most of the Western Xia soldiers were people, probably mostly soldiers and civilians from nearby villages, so they walked all the way and chatted all the way, and the last one was still nearly ten miles away.

Although it is an avenue, this avenue is limited, and in fact it is also bumpy, and it pushes heavy goods, so it is as slow as a snail.

This sudden situation will delay everyone for at least an hour!

In fact, this is an accident, that is, people often say that it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

But in some special war history, this accident is often very fatal, such as the battle of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang's boat was trapped on the beach, this is an accident. But Han Cheng naturally forcibly took off Zhu Yuanzhang's red robe and crown and stood at the bow of the boat to command, and fell to death in the lake with an arrow.

Another example is the battle of Song Ping and Southern Tang, Cao Bin stayed under Jinling City, I don't know what he was thinking, this thought was several months, Zhu Lingyun took more than 100,000 Tang troops from the mouth of the lake, and Wang Ming and Liu Yu took the Song army to intercept at the mouth of the Anhui River. At this time, the northwest wind was blowing, and Zhu Lingyun threw the fierce fire oil, wanting to go smoothly. The fire burned the warships of the Song army, but as a result, the fierce fire oil had just been ignited, and the wind direction suddenly changed and turned into a strong southeast wind, which burned Zhu Lingyun's more than 100,000 horses to death. That's the accident. Otherwise, the history of the Song Dynasty will be rewritten. But Cao Bin attacked Youzhou and began to think about it again, but this time God couldn't stand it and didn't help him anymore, so he was beaten by Yelu Huge.

Now it's an accident.

So everyone is in a hurry.

Yao Xiong shook his head: "If we pounce down, we will definitely be able to defeat this Western Xia army." But don't forget it, this is less than thirty miles away from Dashun City, they don't have to be as scrupulous as us, just send a letter to the past, it will be soon. Can you guarantee the total annihilation of the enemy? Is it a real total annihilation, not a single one is left alive? ”

Everyone was speechless at this question.

Yao Xiong said again: "Just wait, after they leave, we will speed up and snatch the time back." In addition, send someone to deliver the letter back and let the rear know that we may be delayed for some time. ”

"Send the letter back now?" One of them asked suspiciously.

It's not daytime, it's not a normal road, it's mountain after mountain. It took more than three hours to come here during the day, how long will it take to go back this night?

"Even if it's four hours. Send the news back as well," Yao Xiong said, coming down from the hillside and selecting two agile and clever soldiers to take on the task.

…………

The last discussion was going on in the tent of the Song army, how to transfer troops. How to march and set up.

Especially this formation.

In fact, Song Jun also has some progressive things, such as this scout. It is deliberately recorded in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" that the shrewd, brave, resourceful and far-sighted must be selected as scouts. This is a good thing, but there are some incomprehensible things in it, such as "or carved beast's feet, that is, the middle way is the way to do it; or crested microbirds, and between the hidden bushes thin. "Anyway, Wang Ju and Yao Ji didn't understand. The latter also did not understand, "Therefore, when you see the water marks, you will know that the enemy will be sooner or later; Watching the trees move, then the inspection of the gallop of the Kou comes; The grass and many obstacles make me suspicious; If the birds do not moor, there are ambushes below; Those who flee from the beast and plot to sneak (the enemy comes and ambushes, and the remnants see the enemy's door)". Why don't you simply write about paying attention to observing and listening, such as the change of the turbidity of the river, and the alarming of birds and birds. And it's also written too mysteriously, looking at the movement of the trees, you can know how fast or slow the enemy is coming? Could it be that an earthquake is coming?

But this is not the saddest one, the saddest one is this array.

For example, Zhao Kuangyi's Pingrong Wanquan Array, "The forward line is equipped with fifty horsemen as a team, counting one hundred and twenty-five teams, each team and the team eye occupies an area of fifty steps, counting six thousand two hundred and fifty steps, counting one hundred and thirty steps in 17 miles; The rear line is equipped with thirty horsemen as a team, counting one hundred and twenty-five teams, each team and team eye occupy an area of fifty steps, and the east and west occupy an area of seventeen miles and ninety steps. "The three formations of Tufan were 140,930 soldiers (110,380 men, 240 of whom were filled with hope; Thirty-thousand, six hundred and fifty men rode and six hundred and fifty men filled the horses. There were 45,650 cavalry and landless soldiers, 30,650 cavalry, and 150 footmen."

Is this a military parade or a battle, isn't it a cheat?

Zhao Kuangyi really let the soldiers on the Hebei front line put this formation, but fortunately, Cui Yanjin didn't listen to him in the end, so he won a great victory in the city, otherwise the Song Dynasty would usher in the third fiasco after the defeat of Qigou Pass.

But it's not useless, in addition to these big formations, there are also some small formations, what right formation, right peony formation, right rushing phalanx, right wheel formation, right fu formation, right goose marching formation, east and west kidnapping horse formation, vanguard formation, planning vanguard formation, rejecting the rear formation...... Wait, this is recorded in the book written by Zeng Gongliang, placed in the army, there are more kinds of strange formations.

I really don't reject this Wang Ju.

Practice this formation today, practice that formation tomorrow, practice and practice, and the cooperation will come out.

Otherwise, would it be possible to practice the Roman phalanx? That would have died faster.

But one thing to remember, after going to the battlefield, you must be flexible and mobile, and you must not stupidly put up any right formation, right geese marching formation, and then fight when you are ready. People won't wait for you to set up your formation.

Listening to Cai Ting say this array, that array, Wang Ju was silent.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the formation is formed or not, the main thing is how to distribute the troops.

Cai Ting did not insist on this formation, such as the Iron Harrier of Western Xia. Wang Ju still didn't understand much in Wangjiazhai, thinking that all that Zhang Qi and Zhang Kang killed in Fuzhou was an iron harrier.

Actually, no, of course, the two were amazing, and they did kill a lot of Western Xia cavalry. But the Western Xia cavalry did not represent the Iron Harrier. Whether it is Li Yuanhao or the current Li Liangzuo, there are not many real heavy cavalry.

Just like this time, Li Liangzuo only brought four or five thousand heavy cavalry, and the equipment was too extravagant for Western Xia to play.

Therefore, Ye Weima attacked Huachi County. Li Liangzuo only transferred more than 1,000 iron harriers over, and they were all broken, almost making Li Liangzuo's heart ache to death. But now there are still in the Western Xia army, although Wang Ju is equipped with some infantry to break the cavalry, and has also practiced some infantry to break the cavalry, but Cai Ting is still not very relieved. So when the troops were deployed, the generals were deployed. This iron harrier is deliberately mentioned, once the enemy dispatches the iron harrier, let the cavalry take the initiative to meet them, attract them with bows and arrows, and then use this so-called right goose marching formation. Pounce in the direction of the enemy. In fact, it doesn't matter what the right goose marches into, it means that the cavalry drags the iron harrier, and then scatters one squad after another, using the advantage of the light cavalry to rush towards the enemy's main force, and trample on them to trample on their own people. If the Iron Harrier is not fooled, turn the horse back and scatter it with its bow and arrow until it is enraged. It's barely what kind of goose formation.

But it was mainly the command of the Chinese army.

However, this conference battle will be chaotic.

It wasn't originally a battle of the Pyongcheon Meeting, separated by many hills. It's another battle that started before dawn tomorrow, Cai Ting, Wang Ju and Zhang Qi, added together. I can't command it. Can you see the battlefield clearly?

But the same will be true of the Tanguts.

Therefore, this advance arrangement is very important, otherwise the Chinese army will not be able to command at all at that time.

"Cai Gong, let me take charge of the three battalions of the Baojie Army."

The officers and soldiers of Huachi County have the strongest combat effectiveness, so Cai Ting chose them as the main force.

But it was also divided into three group armies, and the commander of the remaining three battalions of cavalry in front was Li Sangou, and the remaining two commanders had nothing to say. This old general is very fierce, and even Yao Ji admires it very much.

The chief of the officers and soldiers is Yao Ji. In addition, there are the remaining three battalions of Parchie and more than 1,000 strongmen.

Cai Ting didn't know which of the three commanders was at a higher level, so he could only see who had the greatest credit in the battle of Liyuan Fort. So he chose Hua to instruct him.

What exactly is Hua's command, Wang Ju is not very easy to say, he can't rely on what he usually hears and sees, it's mostly on paper, if you look at last night's battle, you can't see it, it was a battle to beat the water dogs.

Besides, there are more than a thousand strong men behind them, and Hua Commander may not be able to subdue these unruly fans.

Not only that, no matter how it is arranged now, the battle will start in a few hours, and Wang Ju will not dare to think about that chaos.

So he took the initiative to ask for help.

"You're a civil servant." Cai Tingwei refused.

The battle is dangerous, stay in the rear to command, be safe, and go to the battlefield in person, it's really hard to say.

In such a big battle, it doesn't matter if a county is killed, just like Hu Qian is about to go to be cannon fodder, what to do, someone has to do this cannon fodder. But Wang Ju is a talent, and once he grows up, he will be the mainstay of the Song Dynasty.

Now it's still young, and in another ten or eight years, with merit and political achievements, then you can barely serve as the commander of the four roads on the edge of the edge, and at that time, whether Wang Ju is placed in Gyeongju, or Yanzhou, Weizhou and Qinzhou, the Western Xia people will have a headache.

So there's no need to take the risk.

"Cai Gong, the war is fierce, and the country's life and death plan is also, although this victory and defeat will not make my Great Song Dynasty form a life-and-death situation, but winning and defeating will have a far-reaching impact on my Great Song Dynasty, please Cai Gong allow me to participate in the war."

Cai Ting hesitated slightly, and Wang Ju said again: "There are not many soldiers and horses on this road, three battalions of Baojie, more than 1,300 people, training for half a year, plus more than 1,500 strongmen, all of them are strong fans, improper command, it is a mass of scattered sand, properly commanded, nearly 3,000 people, can be used by an army of 10,000 people." ”

Cai Ting was helpless and had to agree.

At this time, Hu Qian began to come out.

After all, this line of work was too dangerous, and Wang Ju didn't want Hu Qiansheng to be surprised, so he deliberately delayed the time for a quarter of an hour, and in ancient times, a quarter of an hour was twenty-four minutes, that is, half past eleven before the attack. Delay for half an hour, that means half of the vitality is returned.

"Commander Hu, please drink and be strong," Cai Ting saw off the cavalry of this battalion one by one.

Each drank half a bowl of soju, turned over on his horse, and galloped westward. (To be continued)
